So the DOD started laser testing because they believed party balloons were drones, shut down all of El Paso airspace, and blamed it on Mexican cartels?

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

Burgum: "CO2 was never a pollutant. When we breathe, we emit CO2. Plants need CO2 to survive and grow. They thrive with more CO2. So the whole endangerment thing opens up an opportunity for the revival of clean, beautiful, American coal."

“Never has there been a Congress that has been such a weak and ineffective check on a president’s abuses of power,” said J.P. Cooney, who was the top deputy to Jack Smith and is set to announce a run today.

Trump's tariffs aren't just hurting consumers. Struggling small businesses who import foreign goods are having to turn to predatory lenders to pay tariff bills.
Meanwhile, big corporations like Apple are securing huge tariff exemptions by sucking up to Trump.

Now we learn the billionaire owner of a bridge that will compete w/the new Canada-MI bridge met with Lutnick right before Trump issued his threat to shut down the new bridge. The Trump admin is a lawless mafia gangster extortion racket existing to enrich oligarchs at our expense.

It has nothing to do with any of this and Rogers knows it. But he would rather sell out his state than stand up to Trump. This is Trump protecting a billionaire losing the monopoly he’s enjoyed for many years. Coward Rogers should lose the senate race just on this alone.

Leaders of the so-called “pro-life, small government” party who relentlessly warn of tyranny are standing by as masked agents roam the country and brutalize its people. The hypocrisy isn’t surprising — but it’s staggering. Remember this.
